Mystery Book Club

Why haven’t we done this before? IT’S A MYSTERY! We are pleased to announce the start of The Nightbird Mystery Book Club, a club for mystery lovers of all kinds, meeting monthly on the 2nd Thursday at 6:30 at Nightbird, 205 W. Dickson St. We will decide more about the club based on who attends, but we plan to read a variety of mysteries, from classic authors like Agatha Christie to moderns like Ian Rankin and Louise Penny. We won’t leave out the cozies either, so warm up your teacups! Members will choose a book to read (available through Nightbird for a 10% discount) and discuss each month. Our first pick will be at Nightbird in early Dec; it’s The Santa Klaus Murder, a reissue of Mavis Doriel Hay’s 1936 British crime classic about a murder in an English country house. We’ll discuss it and details of the club at our first meeting on January 8th at 6:30 pm at Nightbird. Email April Maranto at themarantos@cox.net or just come to the meeting, if you, like all mystery heroes and heroines, are curious!
